Renault Duster [2016-2019] User Reviews

My duster is the best car and if you are looking for an SUV which is full of all the features and good interiors then duster is the car that you are looking for. I love driving this car since the driving and handling is very good and the consistent performance of 17 kmpl is good considereing the powerful engine which does not lag at all. Duster is not only pocket friendly but also the car to buy if you are looking for comfort and space. the AWD variant has much better interiors and the all wheel drive is an added bonus since the suspension is amazing in this car, which is individual and survives shock, bad terrain with ease. Renault has done a great job with this SUV. The recent facelift has better features but I am thoroughly happy with my Duster AWD and highly recommend it to adventure loving people.

Exterior : This  new  front grille with highlighted logo of renault makes the vechicle look bold and it creates a  new  charm on other people. The over all design with the New  Orange Color combination gives a  funky and appealing look towards our eyes.

 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort): Automatic Climate Control works awesome in this vechicle and cools the rear seats too very quickly . There is ample leg room for 3  people at the  rear seats  and boot space get's better with the spare wheel being put  below the body of  the vechicle.Shockers work well on rumble strips  too at an ease .

 

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox : Performance if the  Engine is quite superior to other vechicle in it's segment. Shifting of  gears  is so easy and  u don't feel any lag while the  transmission from lower to higher gears. The average can't be judged at this moment as i have only driven 120km but the vechicle says tank will get empty after 580km.

 

Ride Quality & Handling: If  any one has driven wagon r or alto then he can drive this vechicle very easily . Steering control is so easy and it can move  inside small spaces in traffic at an ease. This vechicle can handle sharp  turns or speed breakers at an ease making you feel nothing while it  has crossed those  things  . Highway ride will  be much better with this vechicle as compared  to the city ride  i have been doing till now.

 

Final Words: You will not regret Your Decision .

 

Areas of improvement  : Airbags need to  be increased to 6 and  Hill Assist should be added in the top model along with the push start stop button too.

Exterior Very good exteriors. Its design is very bold and masculine. The new alloy wheels look really impressive. The roof rails are also excellent having name written DUSTER. The new signature headlamps add very shower look to it.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior is also very good. It has lumbar support in all the seats. Legroom  is just excellent. The media infotianment system is also excellent. It offers GPS as well. The confidence of driver on duster is very high especiaaly on highways.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine and perfomance is upto the mark suv should have. It catches speed automatically. Its cruise control helps very much on high ways. just leave accelerator and go on like rocket😎.Gearbox is very much smooth.

Ride Quality & Handling Nothing to say about ride quality and handling. I AM REALLY A FAN OF DUSTER'S RIDE QUALITY AND HANLING. jUST AMAZING.

Final Words Dont confuse between duster and close your eyes and simply take duster.

ALLNOTHING

SUMMARY: Great car, but if you're the person who always wants the newest toy in the shop, then look elsewhere. Does every job a car is supposed to, but dials, speedometer, and tech features are slightly outdated. As for the drive quality: The manual version is great, especially the 4x4, but the automatic leaves a LOT to be desired in terms of gear shifting, and is not at all suited for enthusiastic drivers or fast city driving. FULL REVIEW: This car, when released, was a beast. At the price point, with its rugged look and feel, spacious interior, and great colour choices, there was little to think about. But now, in 2018, I'm not sure I can say that it's the best option in the price bracket, because the car is still stuck in 2012. Honestly, in terms of function, it ticks all boxes. Interior is spacious, upholstery has withstood the test of my dogs multiple times, and seats offer comfortable physical support. Drivers will be disappointed if they're expecting state of the art technology, though. Lacklustre console and speedometer; when competitors are getting state of the art interfaces, keyless start and entry, and more, this car firmly roots itself in 2012 in terms of features offered. The manual model is great. Both manual and stickshift of this variant are equipped with 6 gears. The gears are great for city driving, with plenty of pickup in the low and midrange. The 6th gear really makes the highway driving better than it would have been with 5. So why only 3 stars? The real gripe is with the automatic gearbox. On ECO mode, it's literally like being driven by a grandmother who tries to get to the highest gear as soon as possible, and takes plenty of time to engage the clutch, slot the gear, and then disengage and hit the throttle. From the time the clutch is engaged till the time the gear actually changes, you will have enough time to prepare a coffee and drink it as well. On the other mode, while the gear shifts are at the right rpm, the actual process of shifting from one gear to another is painfully slow. Even in the manual mode, the actual shifting takes too long. I would change the gear faster with a clutch, any day. This definitely takes away from the joy of driving an automatic in this country. After having this car for a year and a few months, I have not noticed any major maintenance issues or any glaring problems. Service is very affordable, spares (though I haven't needed any) are all available. Conclusion : A sturdy car that does every job a car is supposed to do. In terms of features, it is not state of the art, and is clearly 5-6 years behind. The automatic gearbox is also disappointing. But if you want a stickshift 4x4 that will serve you well in the city and off road in terms of drive quality, and you're fine with a slightly aging interior, you will not be disappointed with this car in the slightest.

The sitting comfort is as high as the sofa. Steering control is on fingers Suspensions are very qualitiable as no one can feel a jerk on pit holes road Smooth drive feeling without any noise from the engine and other transmission movements.

Exterior Very impressive muscular look.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Good Interior however missing some basic features like clock on dashboard, bottle holders etc.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent so far.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent.

Final Words My name is Ravindra Tailor and I bought Renault Duster in October 2016. I like this car very much even having 4 other cars. Renault Duster is my passion. I am really disappointed with the sale services I got from NCR Motors, Sohna Road Gurgaon. Sale team aim is to sell the car not understanding the need of costumer. Below are the issues I faced on this dealer point:

1.       No information will be provided by sales person for any new upcoming model/version in the car etc. even though you ask them. They just concentrate on selling the available models.

2.       Very poor response by sales team (Even don’t respond on calls after sale).

3.       Costumer has to visit showroom after sale multiple time for collecting number plate, registration certificate etc.

4.       Haven’t received the insurance policy even after 1.5 month.

I will never recommend anyone for this showroom looking at the poor servicing.

Thanks

Exterior

 I have bought this car after so much of reveiw and survey. Here my other opton was to for Creta. But I have not duster. The reasons are like duster is having great body build quality. The door closing sound was mazing. The way body is desirned is simply superb. Exteriors are very good in this car. Only missing part is projector head lamps.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort)

 Interiors are also good quality and they are value for money. Seat support is good. Features also very good. Especially the quality of audio is simply superb. Renault all features are of standard. But there are no much of fancy items like push button start and key less entry. Instead of proving passenger air bags duster is providing saftey features like Break assit and ESP which are available in competetiors for this price bracket.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox

110 ps is quiet capable on highways and halfroads to pull over. 1460cc engine with 248 torque is good enough to pull from any where. Renaults engines are proven in this direction. Coming to the fuel economy, on highway it gives 17 to 18KMPL with AC and with Automatic gears and with speed of 100 KMPH. If your more concious about mileage put vehicle in mannual mode and in eco mode with spped of 70 or 80KMPH. this vehicle gives another 2KMPL. In city it is giving about 14 to 15 KMPL. Driving in city with duster is very smmoth.

Ride Quality & Handling

 It soutstanding. No comparision with Creta or any sedan in its range like city or verna. it is very stable.

Final Words

Fanstastic vehicle. More you drive more you discover and you fall in love. By the way Iam the member of GOD( gang of dusters).

Sounds good right. 

Areas of improvement  

 Airbags for passenger and Projected head lamps.

 

Excellent body design, Automatic gears, Excellent stability while riding.One air bag only after spending 14 lakhs, Arm rest for front seat not available.

Exterior It looks very muscular from outside. New facelift changes add on some extra style. 

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Interior are not rich like creata. But it has almost all the main features like cruise control(missing in creata) intgrated with 6 Speed AMT., automatic climate control system, 7'inch touch screen info system, seat fabrics are good n all. you will feel that cabin is very airy. In a rear seat you can fix three adults very comforatbly. Rear parking camer integrated with your touch screen. Rear Boot space is wow.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox I drove it around 15k km in 6 months. I have no compain about it. last month i drove it from Delhi <-> Manali <-> Rohtang Pass <-> keylong. Good part is you will enjoy your amt at hilly drive. Engine pulling power is awesome. It will cruise like the way you want. Some of the feature like Hill Assit and traction Control system works very well at hilly area like rohtang pass and beyond. I can say the amout i have paid for my duster is worth. Gear box is jerky at high RPM in 2nd to 3rd gear but 4 5 6 have smoother shift. You cannot belive we started from Rohtang pass by 9 pm in the nght and we reached manali by 9:45 pm i took only 45 mins and all credit goes to duster handling and AMT and of course the engine pulling power.

Ride Quality & Handling At high speed it is superb,  i crossed 150 KMPH thanks to the stability it had at high speed gives you a full confidence on ROAD. Trust me you will enjoy the bumper to bumper drive of Duter AMT in a city traffice. My daily running is 80 km per day. I enjoy every day driving.

Final Words Good SUV at GOOD Price. I can say it's a VFM Car.  Second service is cost around 5600 INR at 10000 KM.

Areas of improvement NONE.
